A decent grinder

Lordy · 21st May 2017, 14:50

Hiya all looking for some recommendations for a decent grinder that actually does the job its supposed too without blowing or just dying on me.

Bought two grinders and there both already dead.

I've taken them back and got replacements for them both, but after a few days of use there both dad again.

Anyone know any good makes please and if there powerful, I've only been grinding thin metals and getting rid of wax oil and, that's all I've been doing.

110V, 240V or air powered?

I'm a big fan of Bosch for 240V grinders - not sure what their new ones are like mind as mine are at least 20 years old!

Ooooo! lying on yer back grinding, best job in the world

Watch them eyes Dave. I used to buy those swimming goggles for those jobs with the wire brush attachment.

I always bought those Clarke grinders from machine mart, they've always done the jobs for me OK, I'm sure there are better one's but for £25 (what they cost then) I had no problems with them.

How big a disc are you after?

I have 2 Black and Decker 4-6 inch grinders, one fitted with a disc for metal and one for stone.
Probably over 20 years old, noisy as heck but for metal excellent, stone the disc really needs to be bigger so it can cut through a paving slap instead of half way through.

Pretty sure mine is a Bosch, can't have been that expensive as it was a birthday present. Used it a fair bit and still going strong...
